Windows Update has disappeared from my system and is causing issues
I built my computer myself its running Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1 64-bit
Windows update is no where to be found on my system when I go into control panel and try try open it by clicking on it nothing happens.
I've checked services.msc and it is not listed in there, I've tried running the Windows fix it program and a bunch of others that are meant to fix Windows update but none of these have done anything, I think because it doesn't exist.
I've tried re-registering the needed .dll files for Windows update which some are missing so that didn't do anything either.
I tried to repair windows by booting from the disk but i get the error saying "This version of System Recovery Options is not compatible with the version windows you are trying to repair. Try using a recovery disk that is compatible with this version of windows" even though I am using the exact disk I used to install windows from, I had an old HHD in my computer that had windows on it from an old computer that I thought might be causing that but I removed it and the error is still there.
Another issue that I think maybe linked to this is that Microsoft .NET Framework 4 is missing so windows doesn't let me install or run lots of programs, and when I try to install that it fails giving this in the log
Exe (C:\f038ec82815eda34fa\Windows6.1-KB958488-v6001-x64.msu) failed with 0x80080005 - Server execution failed .
Final Result: Installation failed with error code: (0x80080005), "Server execution failed " (Elapsed time: 0 00:02:23).
Please help I am completely clueless as to what is going on and what to do, thanks in advance.
